Teaching English in Honduras 101

One of the poorest nations in Central America, Honduras represents a growing job market with both paid and volunteer opportunities.

English teaching jobs in Honduras are available from April through August, with a typical teaching contract being 6 or 12 months in length. In most cases, schools recruit teachers locally on the ground in Honduras through in-person interviews, but there are some instances where schools will recruit in advance via phone/Skype. While a BA is preferred, it is not required to teach English in Honduras, however, a TEFL certification is.

Wages are modest - you certainly won't get rich teaching English in Honduras, but the cost of living is low, so you should expect to break even while living comfortably. The English teaching job market in Honduras is strongest in major cities like Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.

Please note, that while a Bachelor’s degree is not required to secure a job in this country, it still can be strongly preferred by employers. If you do not have a degree, you should be prepared for a more competitive job search.
